Germany: High of 3,000 MW in December alone
09. January 2012 | Top News, Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends | By: Shamsiah Ali-OettingerThe annexing of PV systems in 2011 has been concluded to have been even higher than in record year 2010, says the German Federal Network Agency. In 2011, approximately 7,500 MW of PV installations were installed.
The Federal Network Agency estimates these figures based on a preliminary analysis of reported data. Thus, the 2010 record year's 7,400 MW is expected to be slightly, but nevertheless, exceeded. Matthias Kurth, president of the Federal Network Agency says, "In December alone, our new PV plants were reported to have a total of 3,000 MW capacity - a new record."
However these are still preliminary numbers and the many reports in December means that the agency will take some time for the months of October through December to be evaluated in detail. On the basis of the reports, the agency has been regularly determining the degressions and payment rates for newly operational PV systems, in accordance with the specifications of the German Renewable Energies Act or EEG.
Next the degression and payment rates for installations that go into operation in July this year will be determined. The reported capacity of PV installations between October 2011 and April 2012 will be used in the calculations, which highly attributes to the one year period.
"Just for the last quarter of 2011, we recorded an additional build-up of approximately 4,150 MW. This value will already lead to a gradual degression of 12 percent. In order to achieve a maximum degression of 15 percent in July, with the current stand, the Federal Network Agency sees the need for about 255 MW of new PV capacity to be reported between for January to July 2012," adds Kurth.
The values of October (approximately 490 MW), November (660 MW) and December (3,000 MW) are important for determining the degression rates on 1 January 2013. Therefore, it comes down to the announcements between October 2011 and September 2012. Here too, the first conclusions can be derived: the 4,150 MW in the last quarter of 2011 would already lead to a degression of 12 percent. To achieve the maximum possible reduction of subsidies by 24 percent, 3,350 MW would have to be reported in the next nine months.
"The experience thus far shows that the deadline mechanism contributes significantly to increasing the annexing of PV systems shortly before the decreasing of subsidies. The effect counteracts the goal of the legislature, to effectively limit the promotion of solar energy. In any case, the development of PV has not slowed down despite the recent funding cuts and it is also very probable that we will very likely see a similar PV development-boom in June 2012, despite cuts, just like we did in December," Kurth adds.
Kurth also believes that one reason may be that the prices are falling faster than the decreases in subsidy rates. If the annual addition of PV installations remains in the 7,500 MW range, then the framework scenario for network expansion planned for 2022 would be achieved much earlier. And even by end of 2015. To conclude from this development would be something for the legislature according to Kurth.
The detailed figures for October to December 2011 are expected to be released in March on the website of the Federal Network Agency.

Big Tex Can Now Nod, Point, Destroy Us All
When the State Fair of Texas transformed a kitschy 50-foot Santa Claus into an cadaverous, hollow-eyed cowpoke six decades ago, we did nothing. When Big Tex was resurrected last year following his grisly self-immolation, creepy grin and all, we did nothing still. But there comes a time when civic duty must trump nostalgia and apathy. There comes a time when circumstances force all Dallasites of good conscience to rouse themselves from nostalgic apathy, stand up and say enough is enough.Amy Silverstein Run.
That time is now.
The Dallas Morning News brings us the unsettling news this morning that Big Tex has been endowed with the power of movement. It's not just the head shake or hand wave of old, which had all the grace of a toy robot. He now boasts a whole range of movements -- including the ability to gaze down and wink at the tiny humans below -- which imbue the giant cowboy with a new level of creepiness.

Selig, Michael (2010) The Development of a New Automotive Diagnostic Approach. Masters thesis, University of Huddersfield.
PDF - Accepted Version Restricted to Repository staff only until 03 November 2020. Available under License Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives. Download (8MB) |
This thesis describes the master by research project "The Development of A New Automotive Diagnostic Approach" and contains the current diagnostic approach, the own developed idea of a new diagnostic method and the hardware design of a new diagnostic tool for vehicles.
The messages of the sensors and control units are transmitted over the in-vehicle bus network and are different depending on the condition of the car. The new diagnostic approach uses our developed theory, that the bus level changes between faultless and faulty vehicle condition.
The thesis enables an understanding of the basic principles of automotive electrics, control
systems and the subjacent fault diagnostic principles. To understand these complex diagnostic principles, the different protocols and standards are described.
A hardware interface to the in-vehicle bus system is shown which can be used for many different applications, like manipulating/monitoring existing CAN networks, as a diagnostic tool, creating own control systems or for automotive security experiments. The main components of the hardware are an Atmel AT90CAN128, the Philips CAN
transceiver PCA82C251, the FTDI FT245BM USB FIFO and the VNC1L USB host controller. The interface developed in this project gets the same results as an up to date conference paper published for for IEEE.
Based on the shown in-vehicle bus interface in this thesis an idea of a new control system for cars is described. The idea is to control the tyre pressure during an automatic vehicle emergency break. The idea is a reduction of the collision speed and therefore a further reduction of the stress for the vehicle passengers and the resulting injuries for vehicle occupants.

Showdown in Little Tokyo is a 1991 American action film directed by Mark L. Lester, and starring Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee. This was Brandon Lee's first American film role. The film was released in the United States on August 23, 1991.
Los Angeles (L.A.) cop Chris Kenner (Dolph Lundgren) is an American who was raised in Japan. He is given a new partner, Johnny Murata (Brandon Lee), an American of partial Japanese descent. Kenner does not appreciate American culture, while Johnny does not much like Japanese culture. One thing they both enjoy are the martial arts, of which they are both experts. The two are assigned to L.A.'s Little Tokyo, where they break up some criminal activity in a Japanese restaurant, and an arrest is made.
While Kenner and Johnny are questioning the suspect, Kenner loses his temper and rips the suspect's shirt, and the tattoos that Kenner sees on the suspect remind Kenner of when he was 9 years old, a time when he witnessed his parents being killed by a member of the Yakuza. The tattoos are the trademark of the Iron Claw Yakuza clan. However, before Kenner or Murata can get any information out of the suspect, he kills himself in the interrogation room by breaking his own neck.
On the other side of town, the leader of the Iron Claw, Yoshida (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), kills the owner of a popular downtown nightclub called the Bonsai Club by crushing the owner, Tanaka (Philip Tan), in a car compactor. To celebrate "gaining" ownership of the Bonsai Club, Yoshida throws a party at his house with all of the club staff.
One of the girls at the party, named Angel (Renee Griffin), is revealed to have warned Tanaka about Yoshida behind his back, and this infuriates Yoshida. Yoshida questions Angel about her loyalty, and she attempts to appease Yoshida by offering her body to him. Yoshida then drugs Angel and strips off her clothes, and then fondles her from behind before beheading her.
When the coroner runs an analysis on Angel's body, it is revealed that she had a large amount of methamphetamines in her system (induced by Yoshida) which would have led to her death anyway. This discovery of drugs, together with the suspect having Yakuza tattoos, cause Kenner and Johnny to go to the Bonsai Club in search of information. There they meet lounge singer Minako Okeya (Tia Carrere), who was a good friend of Angel's. Before they can get any useful information out of her, they are ambushed and taken to see the nightclub's owner and Kenner recognizes the owner Yoshida as the man who killed his parents. Yoshida is now a drug manufacturer using a local brewery as his distribution center. He uses smaller gangs such as the Hells Angels, Crips and Sureños to peddle the drugs for him, in return for a percentage of the profit.
Kenner and Johnny escape from the nightclub. Later that night, Yoshida rapes and kidnaps Minako and vows to kill Kenner. Kenner and Johnny set out for Yoshida's heavily guarded home, where they rescue Minako. His pride wounded, Yoshida sends his men out to get Minako back. He has Kenner and Johnny captured and tortured, but Kenner and Johnny manage to escape, and they take on Yoshida and his men in a battle to the death.

It is set and filmed in Los Angeles and Long Beach, California in 53 days on January 14 and March 8, 1991.
Editor Michael Eliot was brought in by Warner Bros. for substantial re-editing to make the film faster after WB were unhappy with an early cut. He had performed the same job on Warner's other 1991 action film, Out for Justice (1991). Scenes cut included a different introduction to Kenner, and his former partner Yosuto, more of the Nelson character, played by Ernie Lively, more dramatic scenes between Lundgren and Lee and a scene after the opening gunfight at the underground boxing match where Kenner is chewed out by his superiors for all the mayhem he has caused. Kenner's training scene before final showdown was originally in the deleted, possibly 10 minutes longer opening. Theatrical trailer shows some extra shots from this scene.
Warner Bros. also wanted for movie to be more of a Brandon Lee film, which is why original opening scenes with Dolph Lundgren were deleted.
Stuart Baird, another editor who would often re-edit original cuts of Warner Bros. movies when they were displeased with them was also hired to re-edit Showdown in Little Tokyo, but he is uncredited in the movie.
The movie faced largely negative reviews from critics.[2][3][4][5] Vincent Canby of the New York Times described it as "violent, but spiritless." [6]
Box office[edit]
Warner Bros. were not too happy about the film and re-edited it, only to give it a limited theatrical run in the United States, Mexico, Italy, Israel and Hungary. Except for these markets, the film was released direct-to-video elsewhere in 1992.
In the US opening weekend, the film grossed $455,192 from 140 theaters which was an average of $3,251 per theater. This accounted for 20% of the film's total gross.[1][7][8]
It ranked #9 in Hungary's Top 10 of 1992 Overall Box Office Grosses (according to the 1994 Variety International Film Guide).
An earlier version of the script (104 pages) by Steve Sharon had a slightly different outline and had a more serious tone to it, less tongue in cheek.
The shooting script was 95 pages and included a longer opening scene that was filmed featuring Kenner's former Japanese partner Eddie Yosuto. There was also a chase scene after the Japanese bath scene where Dolph and Brandon go after the fleeing yakuza, it ended up in an action scene set in a shopping mall.
The infamous homoerotic line from Brandon Lee's character was originally filmed as "You have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a white man" (by fear of racism criticism) and was shortened in editing by Warner Bros to simply: "You have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man".
In the US, around 13 seconds were cut in order to avoid an NC-17, namely: -An extra topless shot during the pool party. -Some of Yoshida caressing Angel before chopping off her head was cut. Her initial decapitation lost an extra shot, reducing it from two to one. Later, when her severed head is shown, the head is shown once due to an extra shot being cut. -When Kenner stabs a guy underwater, a brief closeup of him stabbing him in the gut and twisting the knife around was edited out. -In the version screened for test audiences, Minako's rape was longer and more brutal.
Home media[edit]
After Brandon Lee's untimely death while filming The Crow, his movies such as Showdown in Little Tokyo saw a surge in video sales.[9]

This section collates material related to peer production, P2P Business developments, and P2P Economics issues.
* Micro-economically:
Externally, the business world is engaging/moving towards an adaptation to productive communities, while productive communities are building their own Phyles
Internally, businesses are starting to engage in Social Business Design, by moving from Systems of Record to Systems of Engagement.
* Macro-economically:
We are moving towards Open Business Models, and a commons-oriented global economy. Profit-Maximisation can no longer be contained by pure external state regulation, but needs new forms, that embed the profit function into higher ethical requirements, that are embedded in the very corporate structures, while at the same time, new economic forms are created directly by autonomous productive communities, so that they can maintain their independence.

Long CitationsOn the Monopolization of the Internet" As we enter 2015, 13 of the 33 most valuable corporations in the United States are internet firms, and nearly all of them enjoy monopolistic market power as economists have traditionally used the term. If you continue to scan down the list there are precious few internet firms to be found. There is not much of a middle class or even an upper-middle class of internet corporations to be found. This poses a fundamental problem for democracy, though it is one that mainstream commentators and scholars appear reluctant to acknowledge: If economic power is concentrated in a few powerful hands you have the political economy for feudalism, or authoritarianism, not democracy." - Robert McChesney [9]
Competing 'on top' of the Commons"One of the best ways to stimulate competition, innovation and lower prices is for participants in a market to honor the commons (a shared pool of resources, a minimal set of safety or performance standards) and then to compete "on top" of the commons. Instead of being able to reap easy profits from monopoly control over something everyone needs -- say, a computer operating system like Windows -- a company must work harder to "add value" in more specialized ways."
Obtaining Economic Advantage through Serving and Sharing"The future of advantage is radically different from the past for a simple reason: because it's economically better. 20th century advantage focuses firms on simply extracting resources from people, communities and society — and then protecting what they extract. 21st century advantage focuses firms on creating new resources, and allocating them better. The former is useful only to shareholders and managers — but the latter is useful to people, communities, and society. The old Microsoft was useful to shareholders, but a lot less useful to society — and that's exactly how Google and Apple attacked it, and won." Umair Haque [11]
The Sharing Economy should be distinguished from the Monetary Economy"... the quest for self-determination and meaningful and memorable experiences ultimately will hinge on people's understanding that they are not merely consuming a product, but that they are actually participating in a meaningful social process not guided by an extrinsic logic (profit), something that rather has intrinsic, or 'sovereign' value. I don't believe that these two can be fused into one - Eric Kluitenberg, iDC archive [12]
Market Logic vs. Network Logic"The philosophy that undergirds exchange also contrasts sharply across forms. In markets the standard strategy is to drive the hardest possible bargain in the immediate exchange. In networks, the preferred option is often one of creating indebtedness and reliance over the long haul. Each approach thus devalues the other: prosperous market traders would be viewed as petty and untrustworthy shysters in networks, while successful participants in networks who carried those practices into competitive markets would be viewed as foolish and naive... In a market context, it is clear to everyone concerned when a debt has been discharged, but such matters and not nearly as obvious in networks." - Walter Powell - "Niether Market Nor Hierarchy: Network Forms of Organization" 1990
From Profit-Maximization and Market-Orientation to Mission-FocusedProfit maximizing limits access to knowledge, by limiting it to paying customers. If anyone thinks this is just a side-effect of today's market incentives, then we can put the situation differently: Profit maximizing doesn't always limit access to knowledge, but is always ready to do so if it pays better. This proposition has a darker corollary: Profit maximizing doesn't always favor untruth, but is always ready to do so if it would pay better. ... Instead of hypnotically granting the primacy of markets in all sectors, as if there were no exceptions, we should remember that many organizations compromise profits or relinquish revenues in order to foster their missions, and that we all benefit from their dedication. Which institutions and sectors ought to do so, and how should we protect and support them to pursue their missions? Instead of smothering these questions for offending the religion of markets, we should open them for wider discussion. - Peter Suber [13] Markets without Money"Money is a very important and useful medium of exchange for high-value, tangible products. For small-value, intangible products, the costs tend to exceed the value of the transactions—especially when you add in the overhead associated with making payments at a distance. Fortunately, human beings are clever. We've begun to find a variety of substitutes for money that work better." - Tim Lee [14]
Social Commerce and the Intention Economy"only 13% of consumers say they buy products because of their ads. Contrast that to 60% of small business owners in North America that say they use peer recommendations to make their buying decisions and over 70% of 18-35 year olds who report the same for their media purchases." - Tara Hunt [15]
Monetization vs. Community value creation"When you try and "monetize your users", you accept the almost obscene assumption that people are meant to be pimped out, sold to the highest bidder, resources to be slashed, burned, and exploited. But that's not how the edgeconomy works. Businesses need what connected consumers have to give more than connected consumers need what businesses have to sell. Let's put that a little more formally. Monetization is ugly because it blinds us to the truth that value must flow in many directions. That's the essence of edge strategy, in fact." - Umair Haque [16]
The New Social Capitalism"Capitalism takes a narrow view of human nature, assuming that people are one dimensional beings concerned only with the pursuit of maximum profit. The concept of the free market, as generally understood, is based on this one- dimensional human being. Mainstream freemarket theory postulates that you are contributing to the society and the world in the best possible manner if you just concentrate on getting the most for yourself. [...] The presence of our multi- dimensional personalities means that not every business should be bound to serve the single objective of profit maximization" = Muhammad Yunus [17]

true love
The tall guy has a magnificent body and as his mate points out, his penis really is "¡increible!" Some very sensual love making here, a pleasure to watch, but it's a shame we don't get to see more of the short guy's body. More anal action would be good too, I would like to see either one or both of them getting fingered and rimmed. Lovely cum eatin
Everything works in the contrasts between these two guys...I like the hunger of the shorter *** taller guy is so tasty I love his lips and how his cock gets harder and thicker by the time he goes through a couple of positions...a hot vid!!!

Example: [Collected via e-mail, March 2008] Origins: It's a common phenomenon that when a spectacular disaster strikes, "real" photographs of it begin to circulate via On 2 November 2007, a Boeing Co. The Air Force ultimately determined that the cause of the accident was a defective metal support beam:
A failure of the upper right longeron, a critical support structure in the

Despite the spectacular nature of the accident, the pilot was able to eject safely and suffered only the (relatively) minor injuries of a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm, and some cuts and bruises.
Although some of the flawed beams — known as longerons — have been deemed just millimeters off of their blueprint specifications, Air Force officials said they are not taking chances with aircraft that could be susceptible to the same cracks that led to the dramatic crash last year. Nine of the Lt. Gen. Donald J. Hoffman, a military deputy in the Air Force acquisition office, said the Air Force is beginning to investigate potential liability on the part of the manufacturer, but Air Force officials also said they are having difficulty locating the original contracting paperwork and are unsure whether McDonnell Douglas made the specific part that is failing or whether it was made by another vendor for inclusion in the airplanes. Boeing officials said they have been working with the Air Force to determine the extent of the problem, and the Air Force said Boeing tests led to the discovery of the manufacturing defect after the November crash.

Our thanks go to Chris Cook for the following.
Trrains on the Circle Line no longer go round in a continuous circle. They now start and finish at Hammersmith and run fixed circuits as described below. N.B. The Circle and Hammersmith & City lines continue to operate independently from one another.
Circle Line trains start at Hammersmith, run eastbound to Edgware Road and then continue on eastbound (clockwise) round the Circle Line via Baker Street, Kings Cross St Pancras, Liverpool Street, Tower Hill, Embankment, Victoria and High Street Kensington. Once back at Edgware Road, they reverse direction and do one revolution of the Circle Line westbound (anticlockwise) via High Street Kensington, Victoria, Embankment, Tower Hill, Liverpool Street, Kings Cross St Pancras and Baker Street. On arriving back at Edgware Road, they continue on westbound back to Hammersmith where the circuit of routes then starts again.
If you want to travel through Edgware Road i.e. from Paddington to Baker Street, you are strongly advised to take an eastbound Circle or Hammersmith & City Line train from platform 16 in the mainline station, which will go directly there. If you take an eastbound Circle Line train from platform 2, you will need to change trains at Edgware Road, in order to continue your eastbound journey.
For completeness, we've shown the whole circuit of routes taken by the train starting and ending at Hammersmith with both revolutions of the Circle Line.

How Does Your Dog Wag?
In preparing for an interview with bestselling author Alexandra Horowitz for my upcoming book, Soldier Dogs, I re-read parts of her intriguing book, Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know. In case you haven't seen it, it's a must-have for dog lovers who want to gain some insight into how their dogs sense the world.
One of the many fun and interesting parts of the book involves tail wags. With enough research, someone could write a book on the language of tail wags. Horowitz, in fact, states that "It is to science's great discredit that no one has done a thorough investigation of the meaning of every wag of the dog's tail." Anyone need a PhD topic?
She goes on to write that researchers have accidentally discovered that dogs don't wag their tails symmetrically. "On average, dogs' wags tend more strongly to the right when they suddenly see their owners - or even anything else of some interest: another person, a cat. When presented with an unfamiliar dog, dogs still wag - more that tentative wag than the happy wag - but tending to the left." The study she is probably referring to discusses the "striking asymmetries in the control of tail movements," and shows how the different halves of the brain control different emotions.
But you may not notice this "side bias" motion unless you watch your dog on slow-motion video playback, she says. She highly recommends capturing your dog's wags on video and playing then back so they're slowed down. You may be surprised at what you miss in "real life."
Dogsters, have you ever noticed any propensity for your dog to be left-tailed with some things, right-tailed with others? If you follow Horowitz's advice and record your dog wagging under different circumstances, please write back and let us know what you find! In the meantime, it would be fun to trade wag stories. Does your dog do those round-and-round wags when she greets you? Has she ever knocked anything valuable off the coffee table with her tail? Does your dog wag at weird times? Let's swap stories and learn more about this telltale part of a dog's anatomy.

I don't that the link that I dropped got much attention. Maybe pictures will work better. There are two ways for these safes to work. You can order them with a standard key lock or you can order them with a three digit mechanical tumbler.
The idea would be to remove your weapon from the safe when you got in your truck and put it into your favorite car holster i.e. Kingston holster or FAST holster. Once you reach your destination, you could replace the weapon into the safe. IMO, a dedicated vehicle gun does not replace a carry weapon; however, if you carry iwb strong side hip, you may have trouble accessing your carry weapon in a hurry. A safe place to secure your dedicated vehicle gun is a must. This is a picture of the Kingston by DeSantis. |

I use one of the 4 button electronic small safes with a spring loaded door and a cable to secure the safe itself. I do like the one that is made to look like a safety kit, that is a good idea but is it bolted down?

Many good options. I like the nice built-ins posted by NightSight, perhaps they'll update designs to include 2009 model trucks soon.
Unfortunately, I can't always carry a firearm because I work in a hospital and frequent my kids' schools, etc. Ideally, I would carry more often, but I don't because I hate the feeling of leaving a loaded firearm in a parked car for 12-16 hours per day. Also, I have secured, quick access weapons in the house, which I'd also like to have in my vehicle without having to carry back and forth in my daily routine. Previously, I would toss my 357 in the magazine pocket behind the passenger seat. Ideally, I'd like a very thin-profile top loading box, electronically activated, which could be mounted behind the passenger seat, or in the driver's door. Most of the boxes I've seen are on the bulky side, and would be easily noticed by passengers, etc. The integrated console safe would be ideal if it could be accessed flawlessly in less than 3-4 seconds. My home safes pop open in 2-3 seconds with my gun drawn and aimed in <5 seconds. To me, the most vulnerable time in a vehicle is when parking, entering and exiting your vehicle. But more convienient would be the ability to choose exactly when and where you conceal your weapon, versus safely leaving it in your vehicle. I like the first aide kit idea a lot, and might paint one of my current digital lock boxes and then bolt it to either the floor or back of a seat in my truck. I love the combination of rapid-access security and psychology in that concept. My current boxes can fit 2 guns in width; however this makes them a bit fat--I'll have to look for one that is a thinner profile.

That's right, that's exactly what I was talking about.
If a given boat, say a Finot-designed boat, stays flatter when sailed optimally (best speed for course and conditions) than some other boat, then even if total area under the curve is the same between it and another boat, it has a significant "head start" so to speak and in practice will require more energy to capsize.
Not more energy from zero degrees, but more energy from an angle hopefully similar to what the boat was at before the gust or wave, as the flatter-sailing boat "has more of the curve left."
As you say, it's not irrelevant how flat the boat will tend to stay in the first place. The number for a given condition when the boat is sailed properly is not zero. (Well for some conditions it will be zero. But for example, it's unlikely to be zero at say 20 knots TWS upwind.)
And for the given condition it can differ between boats, sometimes by quite a bit.
Your other considerations you were talking about are on different points than energy required to capsize beyond optimal heel (as opposed to beyond flat, which I think isn't as useful as the difference has already been used up) and I agree with what you're saying.
To summarize really briefly, what I was saying is that while it's impossible to reduce stability to a single number, a small set of chosen numbers could give a reasonable picture. I was trying to give examples of a small set.
The "Q" value posted earlier is I think a nice example of a single number that can give a guideline, but as you said back at that time, not the whole picture.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.43 / 5.00 2,649 ViewsCausing Cole was one of the choices for my Summer Project. On my Youtube account I listed 5 cartoon/anime shows that people could choose from and I would animate it over the summer.
It may still make the cut--the voting ends on June 25th.
I'll probably redo most of this if CC does end up becoming my Summer Project, but the voting is leaning more towards Laws of Stone Allegory.
I don't like the minature running scene, or the part where he's walking with his coat on... or pretty much anything aside from the beginning dance and the close up run sequence. Meh... This was pretty much... no wait... yeah, it was the first animation I did when I really got into animating. I did my very first animation in gr.9 and I did this one last year, at the beginning of gr.12
Edit: Fixed the sound. My comp tricked me XD Whenever I export into swf it looks rediculously slow compared to the sound, but it's fine when I put it on Newgrounds, so it looks like I don't have to bother editing it to fit the swf format anymore. Also, added the lyrics in.
The song is Gachinko de Ikou by Buono.

Look, I'm not saying that you should just go straight for divorce. But you should use the leverage you have to improve your marriage. From what you've said, your husband doesn't seem like the kind of person who would just agree to go to counseling, make changes, share power, etc. And you have to start by knowing what your options are.View Thread
"Its frustrating because we are not poor! In fact, we are sitting very well, financially - no debt whatsoever and substantial savings and investments."
I think you have put your finger on what, to be blunt, is important to him.
If you were to divorce him, half of those resources would be yours. Maybe you need to remind him of that?
Seriously, I think the two of you need professional counseling--badly. My advice would be to invite him to participate with you with the understanding that if he chooses not to , you will be consulting with a divorce attorney.View Thread
Honestly, that's the main reason I started posting here some years ago--I was having some marital issues and didn't really have any confidant IRL other than my wife that I could discuss it with.View Thread
"He wants to do something with me every single weekend so we'll usually go walking or shopping."
You say that as if you think it's unusual or a burden to you (unless I'm misreading you). I would think that doing *some* thing together every weekend (unless someone is out of town or something) would be a minimal basic expectation for married couples. The two of you may be operating under very different assumptions about this sort of thing.
Whether I or anyone else thinks he's controlling is really not important--clearly you feel that way, and that is what matters. Have you considered seeking counseling together to talk about that? Do you talk to him about it? (I mean outside the heat of the moment, when you're angry about this or that specific thing.)View Thread
My wife and I are a little younger than you--our youngest child is still at home (he is 16), we both work full-time, and both have other pursuits. So our companionship time can be limited sometimes. I notice that this bothers me more than it bothers my wife. To me, it is a high priority to leave some time for companionship with her. To her, it is more like what just happens sometimes when we both happen to be home. I'm not controlling--I want my wife to be healthy and happy and to take care of herself mentally and physically and emotionally, and to have pursuits of her own. But I also want to spend time with her.
Or maybe he's just controlling, I don't know. Have you asked him? We had a counselor once recommend scheduling at least 30 minutes of one-on-one companionship every day. It could be walking the dogs, doing the dishes together, sex, whatever, but it's 30 minutes that you both set aside for being together. That was very helpful advice for us.View Thread
Or maybe he's really committed to being in her life, I don't know. But I think it'd be best not to make any contact until *you* know. And it'd probably be best to wait for *him* to be the one to make contact, which he probably wouldn't ever do if his heart wasn't truly in it. If I were you. I'd continue to talk to him about it and encourage him, but you can only lead a horse to water...View Thread
For the sake of the child, you or your husband should absolutely not get into contact with her unless is is part of a life-long commitment to be in her life. Right now, it seems extremely unlikely that your husband is there.View Thread
It is normal to fantasize about other partners, maybe even during sex, but most people have the good sense to keep those thoughts to themselves.
If thinking about Sean Connery made my wife hot and revved up sex fro her a little, I really wouldn't care, but I don't really want to know about it. Especially not during the act. Sheesh.
Is he a cad like this generally, or just about this issue?
Some people seem to be under the impression that spouses need to tell one another *everything.* I think that's ridiculous.View Thread
This is exactly what I meant in my original reply, MCK. You have two choices--either learn to accept it or do something about it. Seething is not a good option.
This is one of those things that sucks for the higher libido partner: we're often faced with the choice of accepting the crumbs that are being offered or risking being shut off even more if we demand something more from our partners, sexually speaking.
The higher-libido partner is virtually always available for sex at the lower-libido partners whim. It's very easy to be taken for granted. I know that the once or twice a year I decline, it seems to really throw my wife for a loop, and, being a bit of a control freak, it seems to make her more determined to make sure it doesn't happen again.
But that's kindof a risky play, if your partner doesn't care (or is maybe even relieved) that you say no.View Thread
How old are you? Have you always had this problem, or is it new? If it's new, when did things change and what was going on in your life?
Are you on any meds? Have you seen a doctor about this?

Jennings backs Tsolekile to succeed
Thami Tsolekile's call-up to replace Mark Boucher in the South African team has led to many furrowed brows, but Ray Jennings believes the wicketkeeper has what it takes to make his mark on the South African side. By ANT SIMS.
Thami Tsolekile has been confirmed as Mark Boucher's replacement for South Africa's tour of England, although his mixed credentials have raised some eyebrows amongst cricket fans. He's previously played for South Africa in three Tests, but struggled to find form with the bat – in three matches, he managed a high score of 22. He had a good domestic season with the Lions in 2011-12, though: he scored four 50s in the domestic four-day competition with 476 runs in total, including seven not outs in 15 innings.
His call-up may be slightly controversial, but doesn't really come as much of a surprise. When it comes to quality of glovework, Tsolekile is unrivalled. He was handed a central contract earlier in the year, and was tipped to be the next man for the job. His batting is of slight concern, but Ray Jennings, former South African coach and a wicketkeeper himself – who was coach at the time when Tsolekile was last selected – has backed the 31-year old.
"I'm really happy to see Thami called up. I think he had a very tough introduction to international cricket in 2004, and when you look at the state of his cricket Western Province and at the Cobras, it wasn't up to scratch at the time," Jennings told The Daily Maverick.
"But the way he has grown from there and the way he has played at the Lions – I think he has progressed and I think he's ready to play the next three or four years on an international level, where he'll be able to compete."
Tsolekile's age has sparked controversy, as many people feel he is far too old to be drafted into the side. Jennings, however, believes age is irrelevant, and insists that the motivation of playing for his country will serve Tsolekile well in the years to come.
"There is no such thing as the right or wrong age. He's a fit guy, he's not overweight, he trains hard and I'm sure as long as he stays motivated, he'll be able to keep it up," Jennings said.
"His age isn't a concern for me at all, and I think if he plays for five years or whatever the case may be, he could end up doing a lot more than some other players have in the past."
The South African brains trust now faces a slight conundrum in choosing who should keep wicket in the first Test. Tsolekile is fresh from a short stint with the South African A side, where he struggled with the bat, scoring four and 23 in each of the matches. His glovework, however, was exceptional, and will be a tricky act to follow.
That said, AB de Villiers is more than capable of taking the gloves – despite the risk that it could impact his batting, and the fact the England is often called one the toughest places to keep wicket. De Villiers has been prone to back problems, and already keeps wicket in the shorter format of the game.
Meanwhile, Tsolekile will not only need to adjust to the harsh conditions in England, but he will also need to fit back into a side he has been absent from for almost eight years.
"The difficulty for the selectors in the first Test will be to introduce Thami into the team as quickly as possible," Jennings said. "It would have been beneficial for him to go on one or two tours as Boucher's understudy, so the system has probably put itself under pressure and put Thami under pressure a bit, because he now needs to be groomed into the side again."
Jennings has backed Tsolekile's commitment, however, and insists that this will play a big part in his adjustment to the demands of international cricket. "He is a very committed guy and a very respectful guy. He's a hell of a nice guy to coach and he's not one of those players who walk around with an attitude. I really enjoyed coaching him," he told Daily Maverick.
"Teams can be a bit funny in their dynamics and how they accept people, but Thami will fit in pretty quickly. He's the type of guy who will show a lot of respect for the system and a lot of respect for the players around him."
While he has had a good 2011-12 first class series, averaging 59.50 (the highest of any of the domestic wicketkeepers) with an unbeaten high score of 86, Tsolekile's batting is a concern and there is no doubt that, should he be handed the gloves, the English bowlers will target him.
Jennings, however, seems unperturbed at this possibility. "The most important thing for him is to make sure that he does well with his keeping and plays a backup role as far as batting partnerships are concerned," he told Daily Maverick.
"I think he's at an age where if he is targeted by opposition, he's mature enough to be able to handle it. He's been around and he's played long enough with top players, so I don't think England players trying to target him will affect him in any way." DM

Subject: | getting NULL value in uchar * buf in write_row(uchar *buf) | ||
View as plain text |
Hi, I am trying to write a custom storage engine. I have successfully implemented the create(), store_lock(), open() and rnd_init() functions following the guidelines from example storage engine. My implementation also more or less looks the same as in example storage engine. Now I wish to implement the write_row() function. After successfully creating a table (through create table statement), I am trying to get uchar * buf from write_row(), but buf points to NULL every time I try to debug this function. Also table->record[0] also gives NULL. Please help. Thanks Abhishek Varshney

Carteret Apartments: Carteret Apartments
If you are after a bit of luxury then this is the place to stay in Carteret, France. We were met by the owners on our arrival who carried our bags into the apartment. The place was spotlessly clean with a bottle of good wine and some local biscuits waiting for us. The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a balcony with views over the estuary. The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room. The kitchen had only been installed a few months before and was very high quality with built in oven, built in microwave, induction hob, coffee machine, dishwasher etc. The lounge was very comfy with a leather sofa and chairs, flat screen television, and views over the estuary. We loved all the extra touches such as locally made lamps using grape vine and the dining table made with a slab of river bedrock. We would highly recommend this to anyone, and the prices are not bad.
The selling point for this apartment is the ideal position. Not only is it on the waterfront, but it is in the centre of the town. Every morning we would wander across the road to the boulangerie for our freshly made croissants. Again right opposite is an amazing deli with mainly locally sourced produce. We had a good choice of 9 restaurants that we could walk to and the Bar de Port with live music is only a couple of minutes walk away. When we wanted the beach we only had a 5 minute walk to spotlessly clean sand. The Thursday market was only two minutes walk away, as was the tourist train or the ferry to the Channel Islands.

""Regardez! Ma grand chose!", said Ioan in loud stilted French.
"Alors! C'est bon", I replied in the gloom.
"peut-etre ma grand chose dans vos fesses?", he suggested.
"Est-ce que le petit dejeuner compris?", I replied.
If that wasn't enough to convince the neighbours they were sharing a patch of grass with the demented, the fiasco in the middle of the night must have sealed it. Ioan had wandered out in the early hours of the morning to use the toilet, and blundering around in the dark his large clumsy body had fallen onto the tent, pinning me to the ground underneath. I'd woken up to find myself smothered by the polythene flysheet, and crushed under the heavy weight of Ioan's torso. Thinking I was under attack, I cursed and shouted at my imagined assailant, and attempted to wrestle the body off me. It was too dark to rebuild the tent, so we spent the rest of the night sleeping under what remained of the tent. The sight of two bodies collapsed next to each other under a mountain of polythene must have perplexed the poor families nearby. The commotion had probably woken everyone within a hundred yards, and the next day we decided not to linger before hitting the road. " - from my travelogue.
There are three camping grounds in Carteret, but I haven't a clue which one I stayed at, although I remember it had a big goose and was pretty central. Like most camping grounds in France, I'm sure they are all very nice. You can find a list of them here, along with those in nearby villages.
